COVER LETTER

Dear Human Resources Manager,

First of all thanks for your kind interest to my resume.

My name is Selahattin NAYMAN (40 years, Turkish citizen, married without child) and working as General Manager in Siva Sharm Resort & Spa Hotel in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.

I was graduated from university with the degree BA in Tourism and Hotel Management in 2003 and I was worked for 8 years in major international chains like,

 FRHI Hotels & Resorts (Swissotel B y k Efes, İzmir) as Assistant FOM

 Hyatt Hotels Corporation (Hyatt Regency Dubai) as EAM

 Wyndham Worlwide (Ramada Downtown Dubai) as GM

I also worked for 6 years in nationwide hotel chains in Turkey and Dubai.

 Dedeman Hotels & Resorts International (Dedeman Istanbul) as FOM

 Oğulturk Holding Group ( am Thermal Resort Spa and Convention Center Ankara) as GM

 Mohammad Omar Bin Haider Holding Group and Hotels and Resorts (Grand Excelsior La Sangria Dubai) as GM

 The Greenpark Hotels & Resorts (Pendik Greenpark Hotel and Convention Center Istanbul) as GM

As total I have experienced as GM for 6 years in total and continue to work as GM in Siva Sharm Resort and Spa Hotel since June 2017. (http://www.redseahotels.com/index.php?id=807)

Briefly, since I graduated from university I was worked for city and resort hotels and have lots of experiences in all systems like Buffet Origin and/or All Inclusive one.

Front office is my first stop at my career, however after all my training programs during the university years and continue on-site-trainings in hotels, during the years I have get several experiences in F&B, HK, HRM, Banquet Management, Revenue Management, Event Management, Yield Management, Budgeting and Forecasting. I also attended many TV programs, mass media interviews, digital media news, my writings take place in major sectoral journals and 2 season I was worked as lecturer in Anadolu University in Turkey. For the last example of my speech on journals you can visit (http://www.haberturizm.com/News/Roportaj/12102017/Selahattin-Nayman-ile-Turizmi-konustuk.php)

I always liked to work with Guest Relation and Sales Departments. Each case add me something and day by day experienced in how to create satisfaction and loyalty for guests and today I can use any CRM programs or managing operations for increasing the numbers of repeated guests.

For Food and Beverage department, I am experienced with the buffets, events, banquets, meetings. I have organized many cases including concerts, festivals, congress, wedding ceremonies, celebrations etc. I always accept F&B should be major revenue centers and I am always tries to make something for increasing sales in department and increasing revenues. You can read more about success stories of me and my team in F&B department, in my attached resume.

For sales department, I would like to describe my experiences in two different subjects. One of them is classical way, which is directly related with rooms and facilities on off-site sales and marketing campaigns. B2B and B2C sales operations, direct and online sales, managing the guest satisfaction on Booking.com, Tophotels.ru and Expedia etc. studies would be the examples for those. We can also add some travel agencies as reference, which I worked with them as major guest supplier to my hotels like Mondial, Istant, Bedir, JoinUp, TezTour, Ophelia, Anex, ETI and some more. But room and facility sales is never enough that s why you have to sell something extra with using your outlets, when your guest is staying at your hotel. With this aim I have already opened several outlets for increasing revenues and operate them. You can read about all of them and more on my attached resume.

I am experienced in budgeting and forecasting also. During the time I made several periodic budgets on departmental basis and managed them properly.

If we talk about HR facilities, I believe the happiness of workers increased their loyalty. That s why I always love to communicate with each level staff and set up good negotiations between me and them. Until now, I have worked with different nationalities; this situation helps me to develop my interpersonal communication level. I also set up many individual and group on-job based training programs for my staffs from all departments.

One another great experience which I had is about all types of audits. Like E-Crystal, Thomas Cook, Green Star or direct audit from Ministry of Health, Ministry of Tourism etc. and I always increased my hotel s grades during the time. As a last case, I can give the example for E-Crystal grades for my existing hotel; we increased the grade from 72 to 88 just in 2 months.

As a final, I would like to thank you for your interest to my resume. Please don t hesitate to contact with me for any reason and I wish to add lots of thing from my past experiences when we create the feature together as manager of your honorable hotel.

I hope to get reply from you soon.

With my all respect.
